you'd need to replace the standard carrier with a posi carrier

A Powertrax unit installs in your non-posi carrier. Can be done with standard hand tools. About the same price as a posi carrier, but without the cost of having it installed.

Re: posi rear end??

What about buying a Eaton posi unit and put it in yourself?

It requires setting up the gears. Unless you're up to that task, it's best left to those with the tools and experience to get it right.
